The food is top notch! UCSB takes its food and dining very seriously and as such provides high quality meals for students. There are plenty of healthy options for students concerned about their well-being. A healthy body is a healthy mind, after all.

The food here is by far one of the greatest aspects of school life. Everyone raves about how amazing the food is. 41% of UCSB's ingredients come from local farmers- which means that produce and fruit are organic and locally grown. The dining commons serve healthy and balanced meals including pastas, salad, fish, fruits, and other wonderful things! As a vegetarian, I was in paradise. The dining commons are highly accommodating of people with different dietary needs.

The dining common food is adequate. They offer a lot of different choices, including many vegetarian and vegan options, and the commons often try to present healthy or locally grown food. The food is decent, but not the best. The restaurants in IV, the neighboring community, are usually very good and they tend to use many fresh and local ingredients. There is a wide range of restaurants in IV for those who want a break from dining common food.

UCSB has a variety of places to eat, so you can always find something that you want. Between the four dining halls, and all the restaurants in IV and on campus, the hardest decision is where to eat. Being vegetarian isn't hard here either, the dining halls have plenty of veggie options, as do most of the restaurants.

Greek Life is definitely a big aspect at UCSB as many students join Greek life and enjoy the many advantages that Greek Life has to offer. It not only brings you the brotherhood/sisterhood aspect but forces you to be more involved socially, academically, and physically. Greek Life not only throws many parties but also makes sure that everyone is on top of their grades through many dedicated fellow Greek members. I myself am involved with Greek Life and I can easily say that Greek Life is something worth checking out.

Greek Life at UCSB isn't that popular, but there are a lot of sororities and fraternities available. There are some that are focused on special causes such as the business fraternity, or health related, psychology related, women related, international, racial, etc. If interested in the Greek life, there are tons of different organizations to join and many have there own houses.
